"In collaboration with Books & Barns, a volunteer-run organization that showcases writers in rural spaces, the Neon Raspberry art space is hosting a night of haunted readings from classic texts. These are no ordinary readers, however. "Undead mushrooms, very dead authors and beautiful monsters" will all take the podium, apparently. After story time is over, attendees can participate in a lantern-lit procession to Two Trees Tea House where there will be snacks, more ghostly goings-on and, duh, tea."
"If you haven't yet paid a visit to the enchanting giant trolls that are currently hanging out on Filoli's grounds, rejoice! Your slackness has paid off! Because now you get to see Thomas Dambo's fascinating creatures by moonlight, surrounded by Children of the Corn-level creepy scarecrows, scores of jack-o'-lanterns and monster-sized banana slugs. (Just go with it...) What's more, Filoli's historic house will be hauntingly decorated."
"Symphony San Jose conductor Peter Jaffe leads an evening of enchanting picks from Broadway's most supernatural moments. Bookended by favorites from Wicked, the program will include highlights from Sweeney Todd, Dance of the Vampires, The Phantom of the Opera, Little Shop of Horrors and many more. Jaffe has been known to conduct orchestras in full Halloween attire before, setting the perfect tone for the Bewitching Broadway"
Neon Raspberry and Books & Barns present haunted readings featuring costumed and monstrous readers, followed by a lantern-lit procession to Two Trees Tea House for snacks and tea. Curated ghost stories will be mailed to anyone who requests one via Books & Barns Instagram by sending a private message with an address. Filoli hosts moonlit visits to Thomas Dambo's giant trolls, creepy scarecrows, jack-o'-lanterns, monster-sized banana slugs, a hay maze and a blacklight mushroom forest, plus tarot, live music, games and family activities with encouraged costumes. Symphony San Jose offers a Bewitching Broadway program of spooky musical highlights conducted by Peter Jaffe.
